Apple TV 2 — Fix a Crashing XBMC

I see this thread a lot on FireCore and various other forums. Running XBMC under ATV2 works fine and then one day it starts crashing back to Lowtide after a random amount of time. What’s actually happening is ATV Updater Service is checking for updates with Apple and once an update becomes available it tries to prompt, of course XBMC isn’t designed to allow Lowtide prompts take the...

No Recent Files in OS X

After spending a few hours exchanging emails with developer Vadim Shpakovski while trying to troubleshoot an issue with CodeBox we managed to come across a solution that wasn’t initially apparent. If you’ve ever been working with an application and noticed the Recent Files history is empty, then you have likely ran into the same issue I did. Luckily, the solution is simple. In...

Quickly Removing .SVN Directories via Terminal

If you’ve ever faced that truly … testing … task of needing to remove a whole heap of hidden .svn directories from a folder and it’s myriad subfolders because some idiot did an SVN Checkout rather than Export to a development server, you’ll love this Terminal command: find . -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf You can run it from inside any folder to remove all .svn folders from it and all...

Rdio Blog: Announcing: Rdio for iPhone 1.0 →

Rdio.com launched version 1.0 of their iPhone app today. It’s quite the improvement over the previous version which I thought worked fantastic. Next I am hoping to see a lot more content for Canadian users. It’s funny that there’s a great majority of Canadian artists that are not available due to licensing restrictions.

DroboFS Automounting on OS X

I recently purchased a DroboFS and one of the only hiccups I have had with it is getting it’s shares automounted properly under OS X 10.6.4. Surfing the net there is all kinds of lame-ass solutions such as adding the shares to the Login Items profiles, which works if your user gets automatically logged in on system boot, but then you get a Finder window that pops up. Rather annoying when...

Anonymous asked: My 1981 VW Rabbit diesel pick-up truck is sending a lot of oil blowby out of my valve cover into my airfilter housing. The overabundance of oil fumes going through my airfilter is causing "runaways". To alleviate this runaway problem temporally I relocated my valvecover exhaust hose into a catch-can.
What is causing these oil fumes all of a sudden? I still have good compression...
